Honey Mustard Baked Chicken Thighs with Rosemary

Ingredients:

• 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

• 3 tablespoons honey

• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

• 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard (optional)

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

• 2-3 sprigs fresh rosemary, chopped

• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the Sauce:

In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard (if using), minced garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

3. Season the Chicken:

Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel, then season both sides with salt and pepper.

4. Sear the Chicken (Optional):

Heat a skillet over medium heat with a little olive oil. Sear the chicken thighs, skin side down, for 3-4 minutes until golden. This helps crisp up the skin.

5. Assemble in a Baking Dish:

Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish, skin side up. Pour the honey mustard mixture over the chicken, ensuring they’re well coated. Sprinkle chopped rosemary over the top.

6. Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). If the skin isn’t as golden as you’d like, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes.

7. Rest and Serve:

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh rosemary, if desired.
